Zenith Basecamp is a unique accommodation and a model that I hope catches on. On site, they refer to it as a glamping hostel. The space is impeccable, set up in a newly renovated historic office building. There’s no frills (bring your own shampoo, soap, and towel), but what’s there is great. You get your own room, with shared individual bathrooms and a kitchenette available for guest use. We also enjoyed the cocktail bar on site!

Pleasantly surprised! Highly recommend this place!

Simple, clean accommodations that provide all you need (bed, bathroom) for a stay. Note that the semi-permeable walls (about a foot worth at the very top) allow light and sound in, so you may want to pack an eye mask and earplugs to help ensure a good night’s sleep. Our neighbors’ light was on most or all of the night, which I hadn’t anticipated keeping me up. It was quiet at night but we woke in the morning to people talking right outside our room in the common area; not Zenith’s fault, since it happened during their designated quiet hours, but I might not recommend the risk for very light sleepers. Overall this place is well-located, clean and straightforward. And I appreciate that more affordable hostel options like this exist! Thanks for a great stay.

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Perfect for our crew of Scouts evacuated from Northern Tier due to wildfires.

Amazing place to stay! The shared spaces are super nice and just what you need. Very clean and spacious rooms. Lovely offerings before check-in (pre-order beer and snacks in room) and great offerings for tours etc! Check those out when you book!

Virtual staff was super helpful and pretty responsive to all my questions and concerns. A lot to do in the area and less than a 20 minute drive anywhere. Only thing is if you’re a light sleeper bring an eye masks, ear plugs and your own blanket. Love the natural lighting the rooms get but if you’re wanting to sleep in there aren’t any black out curtains and walls are very thin, you can hear everything and the blankets that are provided are pretty itchy and thin. Other than those three things I would definitely stay here again.

Reminds me of some of the best hostels I stayed in while traveling in Europe. Super clean, very modern, and a great vibe. Joe was there when we checked in, and was super helpful in helping us get settled. Great retail store below, and a cool looking bar as well (window-shopped the store, didn’t hit the bar). It is a hostel, so be prepared for shared bathrooms, etc., but we expected that and it was all in all a great stay. Will totally stay there again!

Was an awesome place to stay. The staff was extremely helpful, loved the Altitude lounge as well. Met so many friendly people!

I didn't realize it was not like a regular hotel. The room had a bed a cooler and a chair. The restroom and showers were communal. The walls were thin and you could hear everything like coughing in the adjacent rooms.
-
Walls are basically curtains. Weird offset slats on the tops of the walls by the room so you can see light from the other rooms and hear EVERYTHING. Hearing the person in the next room toss and turn in bed. Some degenerate left baby batter in one of the toilets.

I understand shared facilities but a sink in the room would have been a plus.

Price, location. I understand shared facilities but a sink in the room would have been a plus.

Clean and comfy. Very nicely decorated and definitely not a typical hostel!
-
No staff, need app to get around in hotel. No parking. Couple of flights of stairs to get in. Not for me, could be for you.
-
It would be nicer if they had small garbage cans in our bedroom instead of having to go to the small kitchen or the bathroom every time. Also they should provide at least coffee in the morning. It doesn't have a hostel vibe, there's no intercultural exchange but the place is clean and very comfortable. No parking available right at the building but across the street.

Clean and modern - the rooms, shared areas, and bar were all very nice and cozy.
-
All of the information provided by staff was accurate and helpful. I did have an issue with parking since another person was in my spot. Since I was required to park in my space, I was worried about being ticketed. I communicated with the staff via email and Expedia, but did not get a response. It was short notice and I was told that they would respond within 24 hours. The issue was that would not help me in that moment which is not anyone's fault. Just an oversight.

Mattress was a bit too soft to our liking, but it was ok. Not being tech-savvy and skittish about downloading another app so we could use our phones as our “room key,” we appreciated Joe’s helpfulness and the option to obtain a physical key card. We brought everything else we needed, as recommended.

Clean and comfortable place to stay, much nicer than anticipated. One surprise: the top slats of the room walls are offset (probably for airflow) which means that you hear every sound. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Not being able to open the window was a little frustrating but for the price I can’t complain too much. The place was clean, felt safe, there was reserved parking with our room and spacious bathrooms.
